I use the dictionary function and sometimes the translator. That's about it.<br><br>

I use it whenever I need movie times. <br><br>Weather, phone numbers and all that stuff, I would rather go to the individual sites, since I don't like Sherlock's sources. <br><br>

The reason I posted this is because I was just snooping around my hard drive and stumbled over it... and thought, "gee, I never use this!"<br><br>I'm already accustomed to getting all that info while in my browser anyway.<br><br>

I prefer Watson, by far, and use it all the time.<br><br>

Apple should get over the "not invented here" syndrome and buy Watson. Watson is far superior to Sherlock, it's just that it doesn't make much sense for people to pay $30 when they have the free knock-off. <br><br>

I only ever used Shelock to find stuff on my HD. I always hacked all other channels out, in previous versions..<br>Now that Sherlock does not do this function any more. I would no longer have a use for it. <br><br><br><br>
